ArenDraw is a solid lubricant, protective, scratch resistant and biodegradable coating proposed to work as a peelable film for drawing and perforation activities. Their basic components are a synergized blend of solid lubricants, polymers and removable water.

Company profile

ARCEO Engineering is a Belgian SPECIALTY COIL COATER manufacturing high added value pre-painted metals. We help pre-painted metal consumers to add benefit to their business by coating metallic coils with protective, optimized or embellishing coatings.

We were born in the R&D department of ArcelorMittal and today we are a 100% independent coil coater fully owned by SOGEPA. ARCEO Engineering started its work in 2014 with 37 staff.Its commercial director is Michel De Bruyn. More info on contacts.

A personalised approach

Customed solutions: research & development are written in our DNA

Besides standard products, ARCEO Engineering is also able to offer made-to-measure solutions. Our highly technical team is able to translate our customers’ needs into industrial results, in accordance with strict specifications. Challenge us !

Some examples of customised and innovative products:

Transparent and self-cleaning coating applied by either roll coating or PVD technology on stainless steel, aluminium, laminated zinc and galvanized steel. More info on ProClean and ArenClean.

These coatings prevent façades from getting dirty with time. Additionaly, no manual surface cleaning is needed as it cleans itself with rain.

Protective and lubricant coating on stainless steel: ArenDraw. Specially conceived to increase productivity in deep drawing activities as it avoids the manual removal of peelable films.

Nanometric layer of pure aluminium deposited on Alusi by PVD technology: ShieldArceo. Conceived to reflect the Infrared radiation and saving up energy in the process.

High added value solutions

ARCEO Engineering: more than just a coil coater.

Thanks to our R&D background, our engineers are able to provide our customers with full support in connection with specific demands in their areas of expertise: folding resistance, coating adherence, resistance to humidity, corrosion, thermal reflection, self-cleaning and anti-fingerprint solutions … ARCEO Engineering also maintains close contact with its customers, suppliers, universities and research centres for advanced product developments.

Flexibility is our motto

We have variegated advantages for our customers:

Multiple substrates: you don’t need to have multiple coil coaters to pre-paint your metals. With just one coil coater you can pre-paint various metallic substrates at once; our coating lines are multiple-substrate ones, they can handle stainless steel, aluminium, laminated zinc and galvanized steel.

Long lasting experience in galvanized steel: when working with galvanized steel, you can rely on us for its purchase. We are galvanized steel specialists and its mill is near us!

2 coating technologies: we are able to coat metallic coils with paint by conventional roll coating as well as to deposit metallic and oxide coatings (different form zinc) by Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD).

Coil thickness: we pre-paint metallic coils from 0.17mm to 1.5mm thick in roll coating and up to 1.2mm thick in PVD coating.

Volume flexibility:you don’t need to count on a high coil volume to have a contract with us, you can pre-paint coils from 2 tons on.

Multiple services

We offer a wide range of services, tailored to our customers’ needs:

We offer hired work contracts: you can choose between a full cycle contract, where we purchase your substrate for you, and a tolling agreement, where you pay just for our coating service.

Pre-sale technical analysis: we have developed a strong expertise in coating development thanks to our R&D background.

Color matching: we have developed an expertise in getting the right color for your application.

We have a partnership with steel service centers (SSC): you can get dispatched to your facilities either pre-painted coils or pre-painted sheets; we have partnerships with HDG steel and stainless steel SSCs.

PVD coating opens the door to new technological breakthroughs

What is PVD? Physical vapor deposition (or PVD in short) is a coating technique belonging to the branch of vacuum coating technologies. PVD is useful to deposit not only pure metals, as it is the case of aluminum deposition for heat shield applications, but also nitrides and oxydes on metallic substrates. The PVD process allows metallic atoms to be deposited on the substrate surface in a very thin and pure layer. More info on our article Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology.

Heat reflectance sheets: ShieldArceo. It combines the strength of steel with the reflectance of aluminium. ShieldArceo will reflect infrared radiation up to 92%.

Localised in the heart of Europe

Located in East Belgium, near the city of Liège, ARCEO Engineering is at the heart of an extended logistics network covering Belgium, France, The Netherlands and Germany. Your logistics expenses are optimized.

Applications

With the aims of embellishment, protection and optimisation, ARCEO Engineering offers solutions in a wide range of applications, which are to be found in the construction sector, domestic appliances, the automotive sector and special applications, such as the following:

Products

ARCEO Engineering is located in Liège (Belgium) and has an industrial production line dedicated to PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology. The principle of PVD consists of accelerating ions under a vacuum and colliding them with a coating material.
